Ngl when I first read this request I was like "🥺💔noooo" but this was fun to write and I'm so happy their together again! Thank you so much for the story request! :))
All was quiet and dark aboard the vacant Derelict. Motes lay scattered and faded, lanterns sat cold and unlit, the Gambit room remained unused, no longer welcoming Guardians as it used to do.
The silence aboard the ship felt cold and never ending, until finally it was broken as a shower of green sparks appeared, Eris Morn emerging through them. Her cheeks were hollow, her arms were thin, her face was pale and without joy.
She sighed wearily, approaching an old metal table against the wall in the spacious and empty room. She pulled a chair away from the table, collapsing into it and folding her arms on the table top.
A shimmer of blue sparks appeared beside her, the Drifter's Ghost emerging and floating closer to Eris, emitting a series of beeps and chirps.
"No, little Light, I have not found him yet..." Eris replied, her voice soft and mournful as she stuck out her hand.
The Ghost sunk down to her waiting palm, letting her stroke it.
Eris sighed again, watching the Ghost dissapear in more blue sparks as she pushed her chair back. "I need tea." she murmured, getting to her aching feet and walking to the dark kitchen.
She grabbed a kettle and set it to boil on the stove while she went to light a lantern, filling the room with a soft orange glow.
She returned to the stove, watching the steam slowly begin to shoot out the nose of the kettle. Soon a shrill whistle followed, Eris's que to take the kettle off the eye. She poured the steaming water into a mug on the counter, breathing in the soothing smell of herbal tea.
Just as she was stirring the honey and cream into her mug, she heard a loud crash from a room nearby. She spun on her heels, clenching her fists and readying her Stasis. She cautiously returned to the room she had just been in, expecting some type of threat. But to Eris's great surprise, she instead saw a strangely familiar figure.
The bearded man on the floor groaned, pushing himself onto his knees, apparently unaware of the three eyed woman staring down at him. A moment later Eris fell to the ground beside him, wrapping her arms tight around the man that she hadn't seen in so long, feeling tears begin to prick her soulfire eyes.
"Eris?" The man breathed out, returning her embrace with tired arms.
She tightened her hold on him, not daring to let go, lest she lose him again.
The Drifter chuckled. "Glad to see you missed me, Moondust." He murmured. "You too, Ghost." The Drifter said with surprise as his Ghost appeared, pressing it's shell against his shoulder.
"You stupid rat," Eris choked out, pulling away. "That is the first thing you choose to say to me after being gone for so long?"
"What do you mean for so long? Didn't I just talk to you this mornin'?" Alarm shone in the Drifter's eyes as he stared at Eris's pained expression.
Eris's face contorted. "It's been three years, Germaine." The Ghost bobbed up and down beside her, adjusting it's frame.
The Drifter stared at them both, agahst. "Please tell me this is some sick joke." His voice was hoarse. "How... how can three years have gone by?"
A few seconds of silence passed.
"I've made tea." Eris said quietly, fighting back tears, begging them not to spill out as she cleared her throat.
She got to her feet, grabbing the Drifter's arms and helping him up as they headed towards the kitchen, the Ghost dissappearing once again. The Drifter sat at the table as Eris prepared another mug of tea.
"Here," Eris handed the Drifter his cup before sitting down herself. They sipped their tea in silence for a minute before Eris finally spoke again. "I have searched for you, Germaine, every day. Trying to figure out where you went, and why. I did not believe that you had deserted me, I trusted your words when you told me you would miss the moonlight. So I was sure you must have been in danger somewhere, somehow. " She took an extra second to regain herself as she sipped her tea. After a moment she continued, "I even convinced the Vanguard to aid me in your search. And they did, for a while. But eventually they had to call off their Guardians, due to the growing risk of enemies in areas that were no longer being patrolled as often. I, however, continued my search for you in every moment I could spare." After more silence passed them by, Eris asked, "Where were you?"
"I don't know..." he eventually replied. "I didn't even realize I was gone... I didn't feel time pass by or nothin'. Just one second here, then darkness like I'd passed out, and then I was here again."
"I have heard of others going missing before," Eris said. "But... none disappearing as long as you."
"Why'd they dissappear?"
"There have been rumors of a Darkness taking an interest in some, and stealing them away for it's own schemes and observation."
"Your sayin' the Darkness is still around, even after the Witness?" The Drifter asked. "How can it take people away?"
"I am unsure..." Eris replied, her hands trembling. "All I know is that these past three years have been the hardest I have suffered since the Hellmouth."
The Drifter's chair screeched as he pulled it up beside Eris's.
He forced a chuckle, trying to lighten the mood. "Reckon in the grand scheme of things it really ain't that much time," he cleared his throat. "And, uh, who knows? We may have plenty more time to spend together... right?"
"You do not have to pretend to be okay, Drifter..." Eris said softly. "I do not believe either of us are truly okay right now, and I would prefer we mourn together than attempt to move on as if we are fine."
His hands trembled alongside Eris's. "Yeah..." he agreed quietly. "How could we lose so much time?" He cursed under his breath, leaning his elbows on the table, blinking away the tears that fought to emerge.
"Let us not waste time now, Germaine." Eris said. "We must figure out what happened to you, and I'm sure the Vanguard will be pleased to hear of your return."
"Yeah, your right... But give me a minute, I'm tired..."
"Drink," Eris said, leaning over the table to grab the Drifter's cup of tea and give it back to him.
He took the cup by it's handle and brought it to his mouth, taking a drink of the soothing tea.
He chuckled as he set the cup down. "The place looks nicer then I'd expect it to after so long."
"Yes, I hope that you do not mind, I have been here much since your disappearance." She replied. "For the most part I have been dusting and caring for the upkeep of your belongings."
"Heh, I don't mind none. No one else I'd rather have take care of my stuff than you, Moondust." The Drifter replied earnestly. "What all's happened since I've been gone?"
"We defeated the Witness, as I'm sure you recall, but other than your disappearance not much else has transpired." Eris replied, taking a sip of her own tea. "Nothing so significant that you can not be caught up when we get to the Tower."
"Yeah?"
"Yes." Eris replied, staring into the Drifter's dark and sad eyes.
She reached out to squeeze his hand. "I am glad you are home, Germaine. I have missed you dearly."
The Drifter turned to face Eris, staring into her glowing eyes for a moment before leaning in to kiss her. He shuddered as he pulled away, blinking rapidly.
"I'm here now, Moonlight." He said quietly.
"In all honesty, I had doubts that you would return, after having searched for so long." Her voice was low and forlorn. "But I never would have ceded in my search for you, and in your return, I rejoice."
The Drifter chuckled sadly. "That why your so thin?" He asked, running his hand along her arm. "Cause you missed me?"
"I had quiet lost my appetite when I found you were missing..." Eris admitted. "Ikora often had to come and urge me to eat what little I could."
The Drifter pulled Eris to him in a warm embrace.
For the first time in so long, a smile began to twist across Eris's lips. Finally, the Drifter was home. He was alive, safe, and in her arms, and she was not ready to let go of him yet.
They clung to one another for quiet some time, finally feeling themselves begin to smile again as their hearts rose with joy. They were together again at last.
Eris giving birth to their daughter. This part 2 of the story where Eris tells him she's pregnant and they're having a girl. Pls make it wholesome
Hehehe, awww🥺Here's your story, thank you so much for the request!! They are a happy lil family😊
Eris Morn lay on her back, breathing heavily as sweat rolled down her face.
"C'mon, Eris," The Drifter spoke softly from beside her. "Your gonna be okay, breath."
He gripped her sweaty hand tight in his own as she sucked in a deep breath.
"Your gonna be okay," he said again. "Your doing great."
Eris growled out a scream through bared teeth, gripping the Drifter's hand painfully tight.
The Drifter's eyes widened in fear as he looked at Eris's pained expression.
"She's going to be okay," Ikora told the Drifter when he turned his worried eyes towards her. Then to Eris she said, "your doing great, Eris, now, push. Drifter, help her keep her breathing normalized."
"Eris, breath with me, okay?" The Drifter said, trying to keep his voice calm and soothing.
He began taking in deep loud breaths, doing the motions with his hands to help Eris do the same. She took in a few before growling out another scream. The Drifter squeezed her hand tight as he brought her fingers up to his lips.
"Your gonna be fine, Moondust." He said against her knuckles, trying to comfort her as well as himself as she screamed again.
A few more painful minutes passed by before Eris's breathing began to calm, becoming slower and deeper.
"Good job, good job," the Drifter offered her a smile. "Your doin' great, Moonlight."
Eris winced, gripping the Drifter's hand tighter, as a few more agonizing minutes passed. Then, finally, the high cry of a baby could be heard. Eris's pained expression began to fade, and was replaced with an exhausted smile as she turned her head towards an astonished Drifter.
"Here she is," Ikora said softly, holding the bundled up baby close as she walked up to a smiling Eris and lowered the baby into her waiting arms.
"Hey, little Luna," the Drifter cooed sofly from beside Eris.
"You two already prepared a name for her?" Ikora asked.
Eris nodded. "Just recently we decided on the name Luna."
Ikora smiled softly. "You've done a wonderful job, Eris. I'll give you three some space."
The Drifter chuckled after Ikora left the room, looking down at the little baby in his wife's arms.
"What is amusing?" Eris asked softly.
"Oh, nothin'," the Drifter replied, his voice just as soft. "Just that she's really cute, ain't she?"
Eris let out a small chuckle. "You have always been fond of children."
"Heh... yeah." He smiled down at Luna. "Glad we've got one of our own."
Eris looked at him, then back down at Luna who was laying snugly in her arms. "I agree."
"How're you feelin' now, Moondust?" He asked, leaning in to press a kiss against her face.
"Much better than I had been, but quiet exhausted." She replied.
"Hey, if you need me to take over holdin' her so you can get some shut eye, you just tell me, okay?"
Eris nodded. "Just give me another minute or so." The Drifter snuggled against Eris from his chair, as she held their little Luna close and safe. And thus they stayed for quiet some time, as a happy little family.
And after that beautiful story request, I believe it is the right time to reblog this absolutely gorgeous picture of their cute little family!!

Make this story
1. Drifter and Eris doing dirty talking then Ikora catches them HAHAHAHAHAHA
2. Eris is sick so her beloved Rat takes care of him.
Here's the story for your first request, hope you love it!! I'm working on your second request, and I'll try and send it soon! 🥳 Thank you so much for the requests!!
The Drifter ran two fingers along the bright orange railing in his section of the Annex, collecting a small layer of grime and dust on his fingertips, staring at it with speculative and judging eye.
"Observing dust are you, Rat?" Came a mellow voice from behind him.
He turned towards the doorway, a smile already on his lips.
"Hey, Moondust." He greeted. "C'mere, will you?"
Eris eyed him suspiciously, cautiously approaching where he stood.
"What is it?" She asked, looking down at the railing when he pointed at it.
"Look," The Drifter replied. "What do you see?"
Eris frowned. "Dust."
"Exactly. Dust and dirt, on the railing. How?" He stared at it quizzically.
"Perhaps from the rafters above." Eris replied, unfazed. "The idea is not particularly strange."
"But c'mere, look at this too," he walked them over to the table nearby which was topped with books, a pot, jade coins, and a Cabal helmet.
"Look at the table." He pointed to more dust. "How is the table so dusty? 'Specially the coins, you know I use 'em like a hawk. How come they're already covered in dust 'n grime?"
"I doubt the Tower is without it's vermin, Drifter." Eris replied, observing the table and coins. "A mouse or rat could easily have crawled across the rafters and kicked down the dust and dirt you see here."
"This much dust? Nah, that don't make sense. How does dirt get up on the rafters, anyway?"
"Rats are not typically very clean creatures," Eris jabbed at him teasingly. "When did this start?" She asked before he could make a jab back at her.
"Been goin' on for a few days." He told her. "And don't tell me a rat kicked down this much dirt, Moondust. I've been cleanin' it up every day and it's still comin'."
"I will admit that is strange." Eris relented.
"Run your finger through it," he told her.
"What? Why would I do that?"
"So you can see how thick it is."
"Rat-"
"Moondust," the Drifter interrupted.
"Fine," Eris eventually grumbled, running the tip of her gloved finger through the dust. "It is surprisingly thick, I will admit." She said as she observed her finger.
"Exactly, isn't that-"
The Drifter was interrupted mid-sentence by the sound of a throat being cleared from the doorway.
Both Eris and the Drifter jerked their heads toward the sound, finding Ikora Rey standing at the entrance of the room.
"Am I interrupting something?" She asked, appearing faintly amused. "Something about dust?"
The Drifter coughed. "Yeah, I was just sayin' how the Vanguard charge me too much to keep a room that's got dust and dirt fallin' from the rafters."
"What brings you here, Ikora?" Eris interjected.
"I heard you were in the Annex," she began. "And I came to make sure there wasn't something wrong."
"Why would anything be wrong?"
"I supposed that perhaps the Hive had become a more dire threat once again, and that you had come to the Tower to give a report in person." Ikora explained. "But I am glad to see the only matter is... dust."
"And dirt." The Drifter added.
"Yes. Well, if that is all then I will be going." Ikora offered a small smile. "It's good to see you, Eris."
Eris gave Ikora a nod as she left the room. "Enough talking about dust, Rat." She told the Drifter once Ikora was gone, sighing and shaking her head.
"But it's still weird!" The Drifter exclaimed.
"I'm sure it is merely a rodent crawling across the-"
"Rafters. Yeah, yeah, I know." He sighed.
"I will be going, Rat, before you get any more worked up on the matter of dust." She turned away, heading for the exit.
"Hey! I'm not worked up!" He called after her. "Moondust! Come back!"
She laughed quietly to herself as she walked down the hall.
2. Eris is sick so her beloved Rat takes care of him.
Here's your second story request! Thank you so much, hope you love it :))
Cough after cough echoed through the despondent work station, along with the high pitched whistle of a kettle.
Eris Morn coughed again into her arm, taking the kettle by it's handle and preparing herslef a cup of tea. She strirred in a large dollop of honey, sniffling as she brought the cup to her lips, taking a small sip to soothe her sore throat.
She was out of her usual work attire, and instead wore a blank t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants, attempting to get comfortable as Ikora had suggested when Eris informed her that she was sick. She was ordered to take off for as long as she needed, and she'd spent most of her time laying in bed trying to sleep, but to no avail.
She sighed wearily, bringing a hand up to her earpiece and clicking the button that would take her voice to the Drifter's ear.
"Drifter?"
"Moondust?" Came the response.
"Yes, I apologize for the abrupt change of plans, but I will not be able to make our patrol this afternoon."
"Woah, woah, how come? You okay? You usually never skip out on patrol."
"I am fine, I merely have a cold."
"A cold?" He asked. "How bad is it?"
Eris hesitated for a moment before opening up her troubles and discomforts to the Drifter's waiting ears.
"My throat in particular is the largest nuisance. It is quiet sore, and to swallow is both painful and uncomfortable." She confessed. "And other than that, sleep has been difficult to find and the task of blowing my nose, tedious and annoying."
"Huh... don't sound fun, Moondust." The Drifter said sincerely.
"It is not." Eris replied.
"Hey, how bout I come over 'n cook you some chicken noodle soup?" The Drifter offered. "May not take your sore throat away, but it'll help."
"That... would be greatly appreciated." Eris replied, not smiling, but feeling a little happier.
"Great. I'll just grab what I need and head on over."
* * *
"The soup'll be done in a few minutes," the Drifter said as he walked into the main room, where Eris was sitting. "How you feeling?"
"Not any different than I had earlier." She replied.
"You got any salt?" He asked.
"Salt?" Eris frowned.
"Yeah. I heard gurgling salt water can help deal with a sore throat."
"Interesting... I have salt in the kitchen." She stood up and lead him to one of the kitchen cabinets.
"Alright," the Drifter started, taking the container of salt and heading to the sink, filling a cup with warm water. He stirred in a little bit of salt, then handed the cup to Eris. "Just gurgle that a few times and see if it helps. I'll go plate up the food."
Eris did as the Drifter had suggested, gurgling the warm water while the Drifter filled up their bowls with the steaming broth and noodles.
"Foods ready," he told her as she spat another round of salt water into the sink. "Salt help any?"
"A little," Eris replied, taking the bowl Drifter offered her. "Thank you."
He gave her a smile as they went back to the main room, each sitting in their own armchair.
"You tried takin' a hot shower already?" The Drifter asked through a mouthful of noodles, finally breaking the silence that had been there through most of their meal.
"I did this morning." Eris replied, drinking a spoonful of the warm, soothing broth. "The soup is good, Germaine, thank you."
"My pleasure, Moondust." He finished up the last of his soup before then taking his and Eris's bowls to the kitchen. When he came back he kneeled in front of Eris's chair and looked up at her. "You already had tea?"
"Yes. Two cups." She answered.
"Alright... try takin' a nap?"
"Yes, but as I said earlier, sleep has been difficult to find."
"Okay... you got any extra blankets somewhere?"
"Yes," she replied, somewhat confused.
"Where they at?" The Drifter asked.
"In the closet in the front room."
"Alright. Don't get up, okay? I'll be right back."
Eris sat in silence until the Drifter returned, a large fluffy blanket in his arms. He smiled as he leaned over Eris, tucking the blanket around her snugly.
"Even if you can't sleep, curlin' up in a blanket's got to do some good."
Eris smiled faintly. "Thank you... would you like to sit with me?" She scooted to the side of the chair, making room for the Drifter.
He grinned, sitting beside her and pulling the blanket over himself as well.
They sat together in silence, not sure how much time had passed, simply enjoying the company of one another.
"I almost feel as if I could fall asleep." Eris told the Drifter eventually. "But I'm sure the feeling will fade once I get up to go to bed."
"Then don't get up. Just close your eyes," The Drifter said softly, leaning in to press a gentle kiss on her temple. "I'll keep you warm." He winked.
Eris's lips quirked up in a small and faint smile as she leaned her head against the Drifter's shoulder, closing her eyes and trusting herself to him.
"Thank you, Germaine..." she said as she drifted off to sleep.
literally my current phone wallpaper😭 the lighting is so pretty, the kiss looks so soft, her hand in his hair- they are just so beautiful and I need more of this type of content 😭
smorch!
😳stranger, just look away, let them enjoy kissy smoochy time~ it's what they both deserve 💞
this is absolutely what happened in beyond light and no one can tell me otherwise
A thought on the IV. Tether lore
"Trust is built, Drifter," Eris said, "and you have taken the first step."
He was pensive. The movement of the coin over his knuckles stopped. She continued.
"I have found," she said, her words measured, "that one is grounded by honesty. Not only in oneself, but with those around you."
He heaved a slow, hard breath.
"I don't know if I can," he said, his voice small.
"Yes. Honesty is a supplication," Eris said. "We ask to be seen. We are made vulnerable… but it is necessary to be treated with care."
He has been honest, and in return she treats him with care 🥺
The growth between them is one of the things which makes their lore and relationship so beautiful. Two hurt and broken souls, finding solace and companionship in one another after suffering through severely traumatic events- it is what they both deserve after fighting so hard for so long. And now, they no longer have to fight alone- they finally have someone they can truly trust and fully rely on to hold one another up and support each other.
Another thing I loved about the moment in season of the Witch was when Eris asks him if he came to urge caution, he just says, "Nah. you know what you're about." that shows true trust. He does not doubt her, even through her taking on the form of an enemy race and running the risk of falling into the temptation of Darkness- he trusts her.
This just goes to show, they are in this to win it. If they proceed to go through with their relationship, that just shows and means that they truly love one another, and they are the missing puzzle piece each has been searching for for so long. Neither person would just rush into a relationship willy nilly, if they go through with this, it just shows how much they've grown in one another and how much they truly love each other.
Anywho, that's my Eris 'n Drifter talk, hope y'all enjoyed it (if anyone wants to discuss Eris and Drifter lore and such, absolutely feel free to send me a text- I'm always in the mood to discuss them)
Hey guys, I'd love to have some more Drifteris on my dash. If your someone who loves Eris and Drifter, pop me a message! I'd love to follow some fellow people who are as in love with this ship as I am 😊

A private moment
Sometimes you need someone to remind you that you're only human
